Enable Guest+ users to execute custom agents in the WebUI
What does this MR do and why?
Part of Allow Guest+ to execute custom agents in foregr... (#582507 - closed)
Updates the read_ai_catalog_item permission in ItemPolicy from Developer+ to Guest+ access level, enabling foreground execution of custom agents in the WebUI for Guest+ users.
Currently custom agents in the WebUI require Developer+ access. This change is a prerequisite for creating a unified "foreground execution" role-based permission that will control foreground execution of both agents and flows. Before introducing that permission, we need to lower the existing requirements for custom agent execution in the WebUI to Guest+ access.
Depends on Enable Guest+ users to execute custom agents in... (!214732 - merged)
To enable Guest+ roles to use custom agents for foreground execution we need to implement:

| foreground execution from the WebUI | This MR |
